There have been no recent news from the department on the status of the case, or Furby's condition.

theSun has not received a response from the department despite repeated attempts to get an update on the case and whether Furby, which is in its care, had recovered from the ordeal.

The video, that was uploaded on April 6, showed an enraged Yee charging at the dog, grabbing it by the neck and hitting it repeatedly with a crash helmet after he fell off his bicycle when the dog ran towards him.

Netizens were outraged and police reports were lodged against Yee.

"I think animals lovers have been waiting far too long for the outcome of the case," said Malaysia Dogs Deserve Better project manager Melinda J. Gomez.

"We are also very concerned about Furby and hope VSD will not euthanise the dog if the case is closed, but hand it over to anyone who wants to adopt it," she added.

A Facebook page called "Justice for Furby", that was created and dedicated to the case, has since gone quiet, with no updates in over a month.
